Travis Tyler is an absolutely rarity in Western Virginia: he is a completely 100% obsessed fan of football that is actually played with people's feet. He became infatuated with Chelsea FC early and hasn't looked back. In a heat of Chelsea + USA fueled passion he also got a Matt Miazga jersey, so make of that what you will.
